On the 4th of July 2025, Eyelight Optometrists participated in the Stanbic Gaborone Golf Club Tournament, where the team led a dedicated vision screening initiative as part of the event’s broader wellness and community outreach efforts.

This participation reflects Eyelight’s ongoing commitment to making quality eye care accessible in diverse settings while reinforcing its role as a trusted community health partner. Through such initiatives, Eyelight continues to advocate for a future where preventable blindness is significantly reduced through early intervention and public education.
